GOLD STAR COLLEGE CARE

Making education more affordable for the children of fallen heroes

The challenge

Gold Star Families—the immediate family members of a service member who died in the line of military duty—often struggle to afford all the costs associated with attending college.

The solution

Heroes Linked’s Gold Star College Grants program provides the children of Gold Star Families with supplemental financial support to help them afford the many costs associated with higher education.

  • "Helping Gold Star children and spouses achieve their educational goals is an important way for us to honor the legacy and sacrifices of those who served."

    - Robert F. Jerome, Board Chair

Honor the legacy of a fallen hero.

Help the children of those who gave their lives protecting us afford the cost of higher education.
